The Chieftain of the Jiralhanae, [[Tartarus]] was [[Battle for the Control Room (Installation 05)|killed]] by [[Thel 'Vadam]], his [[Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution|allies]], and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] on [[Installation 05]]. He wielded a powerful ancient and unique [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]], the [[Fist of Rukt]].{{Ref/Level|Id=TGJ|Game=Halo 2|Level=The Great Journey}} Preceding him was his uncle Maccabeus, the previous wielder of the Fist of Rukt. Maccabeus's death was at his young nephew's hands, as is the tradition within the Jiralhanae culture: a fight to the death over the Chieftain position within the pack. The same can likely be said for most Jiralhanae Chieftains unless the previous Chieftain fell in battle; however contestants may have had to fight to the death for the position if this was the case. This was known to have happened on at least one occasion during the [[Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss|Jiralhanae occupation]] of the colony [[Beta Gabriel]].{{Ref/Book|Id=H:Evo|Book=Halo: Evolution|Section=Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss|SectionLinkText=Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss}}

Due to animosity stoked by the [[Great Schism]], the Jiralhanae and [[Sangheili]] typically did not work together after the war, at least not as equals.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Envoy3|Halo: Envoy|Chapter=1 "The Covenant had failed, obliterated under the weight of many lies; as a result, the Sangheili did not make common cause with Jiralhanae anymore, at least not as equals. No, this was strange. "}} For reasons unknown, a few Jiralhanae Chieftains would eventually join [[Merg Vol's Covenant]] as lesser infantry after the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. These few Jiralhanae would fight on behalf of the group during the [[Battle of Draetheus V]] in [[2554]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSA}} Very few Chieftains were depicted serving [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] in a [[UNSC Tactical Simulator]] set during the [[Battle of Installation 03]] in [[2557]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS}}

While most Jiralhanae Chieftains were known to have worn power armor, a few were poorly armored, like the bulk of lower-ranked Jiralhanae warriors as a whole until the Great Schism, including [[Parabum]] and [[Lydus]].{{Ref/Reuse|H:Evo}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE|Comic=Halo: Escalation|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|#1]]}}
